the frame lt of g i i *Fig. 2 illustrates in aconventional manher arotarybutton hoppe lg f hi h biittons-are fed along a chuteQO to a buttonreceiver 21 located immediately beneath the reciprocating plunger 17hereinbefore referred to. Thebuttonsetting plunger 17:

is located directly over an anvil 22 to which ers whereby thebuttons aresecuredto a garment and to feedthem bythe upper end of adownward'extending fastener chute'Q-i,

frame 14 of the machine at 26, and which.

having overhanging sides as illustrated in the drawing to thereby holdthe fasteners in place and as is usual in fastener feeding onto theanvil upon which they rest with their point extending upward, asillustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawing and as will be hereinafterexplained in detail.

The reference .numeral'25 designates-an oscillating lever pivotallysecured to the lever is provided with an elongated slot 27 in which aroller 28 carried by the oscillating lever 16 travels, wherebyoscillatory motion is communicated to the said lever as will beunderstood. This oscillating lever is I with a pitman 81 which serves tocommunicate rotary motiontorthe hopper 23 through suitable ratchetmechanism designated as a whole by the reference numeral 32, Fig. 1,

but which, mechanism is not illustrated in detail for the reason thatit, as well as the hopper itself, form no part of the invention.

to which this application relates,

The reference numeral 33 designates a reciprocating stop designed tooperate through an opening 34 located in thebottomjwall and adjacent thelower end of the fastener chute 24, and which stop arrests the downwardmovement of the fasteners in the chute when the same is in its uppermostposition, as illustrated in Fig. 6. This stop is. shown as located atthe free end of an oscillating member or lever 35, the other end ofwhich is pivotally supported at 36 in lugs 37 formed upon the under sideof the chute 24.

' The stop 33 is moved in a direction to bring it into position toarrest the downward movement of the fasteners in the chute by means of aspring 38, actmg upon the member 35, and in a direction to release the}fasteners by means of an oscillating oper ating member or arm 39 whichengages a cam surface or shoulder 40 upon the member 35 and swings thesame awayyfrom the chute, as shown in Fig. 7, this'movement beingagainst the tension of the spring 38 as will be understood. Theoperating arm 39 is securedto the, lower end of a short oscillatingshaft. 8:2 supported in a bearing formed in a lug 41 projecting from thefastener: chute 24, which shaft carries at its upper end a plate 42which in turn is provided. with a downward extending pin 43,

it being understood that the plate 42 and operating arm 39 are connectedwith one another in a unitary manner move in unlson.

Osclllatory motion is communicated to the oscillating operating memberor arm 39 and, consequently, to plate 42 through a pitman 44 as shown inFig. 10,the upper end of this pitman being operatively'connected withthe oscillating lever 31 hereinbefore referred to and as best showninFig. 2. The upper end of thispitman is provided with a slot 45 in whicha pin 46 carried by the lever 31 moves, so [that said .last mentionedlever may partake of a considerable movement before the pin 46 comesinto.

contactwith-the end of the slot 45 and before beginning to transmitmotion to the pitman 44. The lower end of the pitman 44'is also providedwith a slot as. shown at 47in which a pin 48 carried by the operatingmember or arm 39 moves. A spring 49 is also provided one end of which issecured to the pitman 44 while the other end is secured to the pin 48 Itwill therefore be appreciated, referring to Fig. 5, that moltion istransmitted to the operating member or arm 39 through the spring in thenormal goperation of the machine,.and that iffor any reason the fastenerfeeding mechanism Ebecome jammed so that the operating meme ;Iber or arm39 andthe parts connected with -.it may not operate, as sometimes occursby ethe fasteners becoming jammed in the feeding chute, the spring 49.will yield, thus permitting the pitman 44 to move independently of thepin 48. n, a I The reference numeral 50 designates a second oscillatingmember pivotally secured at its upper end to a lug 51 projecting :fromthe side of the fastener feeding chute ;24 by means of a screw orequivalent pivot 52, and the lower end of which member is ,provided witha hook shaped projection 53 ;adapted to be moved into the path of the,fasteners as shown in Fig. 4, or out of said gpath so as to be free ofthe fasteners, as

.shown in Fig, 3. 1 This member is provided @with a'laterally projectingarm 54 at its gupper end which arm is engaged by one end ;of a spring55, the other end thereof being secured to a fixed abutmentand thetendency ,of which spring is to move the inember 50 into the positionshown in Fig. 3 and to hold it 'nor1nally in that position. Theprojection 53 at the opposite end of the member 50- is provided with abeveledor inclined face 83 adapted to contact with the fastener in' thechute immediately below it when said projection 53 moves into-and acrossthe path of the fasteners, the-object being to positively force or pushthe fastener below it and insure the movement of the fastener in case itbe stopped "or othera wise held against movement in thechutel l;

The oscillating member 50- above referred ;to is provided with aninclined cam surface or shoulder 56 intermediate. its ends whichshoulder is engaged bythe pin 43 projecting downwardly from the plate42, as herein- I before explained. The plate 42 is preferably made tooverlie theoscillating. member 50, as shown. in Fig. 3, and upon rotarymotion being imparted'to the plate through ftheshaft 40, as aboveexplained, the pin 43 i engagesthe shoulder 56 and forces the lower jthe spring 55 as will be understood. The

hook shaped projection 53 of said'member.

toward the right, referring to Figs. 3 and 4, this movementbeingfagainst the:tension of lower side of the projection 53 isinclined, as

shown at v56, which inclined surface engages the; prongof the lowermostfastener after it'has been released by downwardmovement u from theposition shown inFig. 6 to the of the stop 33 and thereby gives thefastener a positive push as it passes from the lowerv fendof the chute24 as above described.

When the stop-'33 is in the position shown in Fig. 6 theoscillating'member 50-is' in the position shown in Fig. 3. If nowthe-oscih dating operating arm .39 .be moved in a downward direction,Fig. 10, through the pitman 44 and spring 49 as hereinbefore explained,the oscillating member-35 is moved position shown inFig. 7,'and the stop33 thereby moved out'of the pathxofmovement of movement of the fastenersand the upper edge of said projection into Jpositionto engage and'arrestthe downward movement of the fasteners in the ehute, asshowninFig.

4, and, as the projection is'moved across the lower end of'the chute thefastener which was released upon thev downward movement of the stop 33is engaged by the lower inclined edge 56 of the projection and given apositive push toward the lower end of the fastener chute.,Astheoperating memberor arm'39 is movedfromithe position shown in Fig.-7-to the position shown in: Figs. 6 and 10, the stop 33 is returnedbythe action of the spring 38 into a. position to arrest the do'wnward'movement of ,the-

fasteners .in the chute 24, and reachesthe position shown in Fig; 6about the time that the extremity of the .proj ection j reached theposition in which it'is illustrated in Fig.

3 to which position saidQp 'OIjectiOn is returned by the spring 55. 3:wThe fasteners pass fromithe'lower end of the chute 24 onto a receivingtable 57 shown in Fig. T 5. and' indicated 1n a conventional manner in Figs. 6 and 7, the lower end of the chute being provided with a foot asshown at 58, Figs; 3 and 4,.whichfits close to the table and forms' one,of two parallel guides], between which the fasteners are 'theanvil' 22.The othervof said guides is shown at 59, Figs. 3 and 4 the same beingpivotally supported at 60 upon ablock 61 which block is'in'turn'supported upon asecmoved from the lower endof the chuteronto p ond-block62 secured to theframeofthe-machine. These guides are spaced apart fromv one another as above. explained :to. thereby provide a slot .63 alongwhich the fasteners pass to the; anvil '22, and the 'gui de'59 ispivotally supported in order that it maybe swung aWay-fromthe guide 58to-thereby 'expose 'the lower discharge endof thechute 24 andpermitgfasteners to be removed, should they become jammed at the lowerend of the chute; The movable guide 59 is I held in place by means of apin 79 which iextendsth rough a hole in it and into the block 61 abovereferred'to.

vThe fastener receiving tablep57 is itself provided with a slot 80, andthe-feferencecharacter 64 designates a reciprocating slidemovablebetween-the guides 58, 59andthe ,1 forward end of which isadaptedto engage each separate fastener as it'reaches the receiving table'andforce thesame along the slot 63. and onto the upper end of the'anvil 22,as will be understood from Fig. 5 of the drawing; This slide is providedwith a downwardly extending arm 65 which in turn is connected with areciprocating crossheadj 66 movable suitableguides provided'for it inthe block 61- hereinbefore re:

a downwardly extending pin 67 which in turn is engaged by thebifurcatedfree endof one arm 68 of bell crank lever pivotally secured to the block62 at 69,the other arm 70 o fsaid lever being operati-vely connectedwith the arm 30 of the lever 25-hereinbefore referred to" (see Fig. 1)throi' gh'a pitman*" 71, whereby as the lever 25'i's oscillated asherembefore explained reciprocatory 1 mo 'tion isstransrn'itted to theslide 64. The

particular form of the connection intermediate the arm 30 of the lever25 and the arm v70 of the bell crank? lever is however not: specificallyillustrated, as the same formsno part of the invention to which this'appli Cation relates. a r V -The fasteners are moved by the slide, 64

them the lower'end of the chute 24 into a position between the upperends of two jaws 72, the lower ends of which jaws are pivotallysupportedby a vertically movable jaw carrying member 74 surrounding theanvil 22am held in its "uppermost" position these jaws being forcedtoward one another the fastener in an upright position with its .headresting upon the anvil 22 after'it has ferre'dto. This cross-headisprovided with f by means of a spring 75, the upper ends of by a spring76, These jaws thus act to hold illustrated in Fig. 5, in which positionit remains until the button contained in the button receiver 21 isattached to the garment, as

hereinbefore explained; it being understood that after .the fastener hasbeen supplied to the anvil the button contained within the buttonreceiver is forced downward by the plunger 17 and through thebuttonreceiver and. nto engagement with the fastener, the upwardly projectingprong of; which either pierces an imperforate bottom wall-of thebutton,=.or passes through "a hole .provided therein, after which it isclenched within the hub of the button in a manner well understood bythose familiar with the art relating to button attaching machines.

The pivoted guide 59 is provided with an upwardly extending wing orguard 77, and 78 designates a guard secured to the lower end of thefastener chute, the purpose of these elements being to prevent. thegarment from coming into engagement with the fastener releasingmechanism when the machine is in use, the guard 78 also assisting inholding the tack or fastener in its up right, position when being forceddown:

wardly by the inclined face 56 of the member 50 and avoiding any and alldanger of it being forced out of the chute by the action of said member;7 j

The oscillating lever 25 is so designed, and the location of the roller28 is such that motion is communicated to said lever throughout thegreater part of the upward movement of the connecting rod 18, from whichit follows that the, lever 31 which is operated fromthe-lever :25partakes of an oscillatory.movement substantially in step withthemovements of the levers 1.6 and 25. The fastener feeding mechanismcomprising in part the oscillating members 35 and 50, however, isoperated only as the lever 31 approaches the ends of its movementbecause of the lost motion between said lever and the pitman 44:, whichlost motion results from the fact that the pin tdmoves in a slot d5 ofconsiderablelength, as hereinbefore explained. It therefore follows thatthe fastener feeding mechanism is ope "ated and moved from the positionshown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Fig. 4, and from the position shown inFig. i to that shown in Fig.

3, very quickly, as these movements occur while the lever Slis movingthrough short portions only of p its path of movement, which rapidoperation of the fastener feeding mechanism is of importance, especiallyin fast running machines.
